    She’s said she won’t ban fracking, which means PA is still in play

    What?

    Support for a total ban keeps waffling and has for years. It literally just flipped from majority ban to majority keep in jist the last two weeks. If polled today it could be either.

    But regulation and a halt to expansion is minimally 70%, as high as 90% depending on how it’s phrased.

    Both trump and Biden deregulated and expanded. Kamala shows no sign of being different.

    But my point is, as bad as Clinton was, wanting to ban fracking or not has a negligible effect on Pennsylvania.

    Big effect nationally tho, would help elsewhere…

    Then there’s the whole thing about how fracking needs to be banned which I hope don’t need explained.

    Like, if the benefit of pissing off the base is negligible and it destroys the local environment and causes more damage than coal…

    Why not ban it?
